This week Huawei dominated the news with their latest and greatest Huawei Mate 9 and Porsche Design Huawei Mate 9 smartphones to go with a Huawei FIT smartwatch as well. Xiaomi managed to slip in their Redmi 4, Redmi 4A and Redmi 4 Prime smartphones while Olympus announced their OMD E-M1 Mark II DSLR will be going on sale in December 2016. The Meizu Pro 6S and Meizu M5 were officially announced while the Samsung w2017 flip phone officially arrived in China.

The Veyron phone from Samsung is now official. It is officially called the Samsung W2017, and as expected it is an Android-powered smartphone in a flip-phone form factor. Make no mistake – this is a flagship device, on part with the Samsung Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge.

The Samsung Veyron phone is set to go on sale pretty soon, if the news are correct. We have seen how it looks like, but a new list of specs from GFXBench has confirmed some important information of the features, which will be included in the flagship flip phone.

If you love the flip form factor, you would be happy to know that Samsung is not giving up on the clamshell form factor anytime soon. They are now hard at work for an update to the Samsung W2016, a flip phone with flagship specs.
